Öğe A rare case of urethral fibroepithelial polyp in a young boy(Elsevier Science Inc, 2023) Sancak, Eyüp Burak; Özaydın, Bilgehan; Güven Bağla, AyselUrethral fibroepithelial polyps are uncommon benign tumors. The clinical presentation comprises of acute urinary retention, obstructive bladder symptoms such as frequent urination and urination difficulties, and hematuria. Usually, the diagnosis is made through the use of ultrasonography, voiding cystourethrography, and urethrocystoscopy. This study presents a case report of a four-year-old patient with urinary retention and frequent urination symptoms who was diagnosed with a urethral fibroepithelial polyp in the light of the literature.Öğe Avoiding radiation exposure during retrograde intrarenal surgery; a RIRSearch score for predicting longer fluoroscopy times(Springer, 2025) Ozman, Oktay; Şimşekoğlu, Fatih; Şahin, Mehmet Fatih; Başataç, Cem; Akgül, Murat; Çakır, Hakan; Çınar, Önder; Sancak, Eyüp BurakThe aim of this study was to identify preoperative and perioperative predictors of radiation exposure during retrograde intrarenal surgery and to develop a scoring system to estimate intraoperative fluoroscopy time. Data from 753 patients who underwent retrograde intrarenal surgery for renal stones were obtained from a multicenter database. All procedures were performed under general anesthesia using fluoroscopy. Fluoroscopy time, recorded in seconds, was the primary outcome. Ordinal regression analysis was applied to evaluate the association between clinical variables and fluoroscopy duration. A predictive score was developed based on statistically significant factors. The performance of the score was tested using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis and a calibration plot.The mean fluoroscopy time was 58 seconds, while the median was 5 seconds. In 140 procedures, fluoroscopy time exceeded 120 seconds. Six parameters were independently associated with longer fluoroscopy use: absence of preoperative ureteral stenting, low stone density (<1000 Hounsfield units), small stone burden (<250 cubic millimeters), multiple stone localizations, failure of ureteral access sheath insertion, and use of large-caliber sheaths (>= 10-12 French). Each parameter was assigned a weighted value, generating a score ranging from 0 to 15. The scoring system demonstrated excellent discriminatory ability (area under the curve: 0.901). A score of 10 or more predicted fluoroscopy duration above 120 seconds with 87.5% sensitivity and 86.2% specificity.The RIRSearch Score is a practical tool for anticipating prolonged radiation exposure before retrograde intrarenal surgery. Surgeons may use this model to minimize unnecessary fluoroscopy and enhance occupational safety.Öğe Böbrek Yaralanmasını Taklit Eden Nadir Bir Renal Kolik Olgusu : Koç Toslaması Sonrası Gelişen Renal Kolik(Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart Üniversitesi, 2014) Sancak, Eyüp Burak; Reşorlu, Mustafa; Akbaş, Alpaslan; Gülpınar, Murat TolgaHayvanlarla ilişkili travmalar, ciddi morbidite ve mortalite potansiyelinden dolayı, önemli bir tıbbi problemdir.

B.; Çakır, H.; Sancak, Eyüp Burak[No abstract available]Öğe Combined laparoscopic pyelolithotomy with retrograde intrarenal surgery in a patient with horseshoe kidney anomaly and kidney stone: a case report(Oxford Univ Press, 2023) Sancak, Eyüp Burak; Tekin, Yakup Emre; Saray, BektaşHorseshoe kidney is the most prevalent congenital kidney fusion anomaly, affecting 0.25% of the general population and occurring in 1 in 400-1600 births. Approximately 40 percent of patients develop kidney stones due to anomalies. In our case, we aimed to perform combined laparoscopic pyelolithotomy with retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) instead of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) in a patient with a horseshoe anomaly. This procedure enabled us to detect the location of the mobile stone with RIRS and then successfully extract it with laparoscopic pyelolithotomy. Laparoscopic pyelolithotomy combined with RIRS is a reasonable additional treatment option for complicated stone surgery due to horseshoe kidney anomalies.Öğe Comparison of two different medication strategies before retrograde intrarenal surgery in patients using anticoagulant or antiplatelet agents: Results of the RIRSearch study group(Elsevier, 2025) Şimşekoğlu, M.

Which Radiological Technique? RIRSearch Study Group(Elsevier Science Inc, 2024) Yazıcı, Cenk Murat; Gönen Korcan, Aysun; Ozman, Oktay; Çakır, Hakan; Başataç, Cem; Akgül, Hacı Murat; Çınar, Önder; Sıddıkoğlu, Duygu; Sancak, Eyüp BurakOBJECTIVE To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of ultrasonography (USG) and kidney ureter bladder radiography (KUB) for the determination of stone-free status of retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) according to different stone-free status definitions. MATERIALS AND METHODS The patients who underwent RIRS between September 2021 and September 2022 were prospectively included in the study. All patients underwent a KUB radiography, urinary system USG and noncontrast abdominal tomography at the postoperative first month of the surgery. The sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive factor, and positive predictive factor of USG and KUB on evaluating the stone-free rate were analyzed according to different stone-free status definitions. RESULTS A total of 178 patients were included in the study. The stone-free rates according to stone-free definitions as; residual stone < 4 mm, < 2 mm and no residual stone were 79.2%, 64.0%, and 56.7%, respectively. According to its definition as a residual stone < 4 mm, the sensitivity and specificity of USG were 64.9% and 84.3%, respectively. The sensitivity of USG was 57.1% and 52.5% as the definitions were residual stone < 2 mm and no residual stone, respectively. Addition of KUB to USG slightly increased the sensitivity but did not change the specificity. CONCLUSION USG had high specificity but low sensitivity for evaluating stone-free status after RIRS and addition of KUB did not increase the diagnostic efficacy. Although USG may be used in daily practice, it may overestimate the stone-free status and noncontrast abdominal tomography must be used during the clinical trials to document the exact stone-free rates of RIRS.

The results of the RIRSearch group(Wiley, 2021) Yazıcı, Cenk Murat; Sıddıkoğlu, Duygu; Çınar, Önder; Özman, Oktay; Başataç, Cem; Akgül, Murat; Sancak, Eyüp Burak; Önal, Bülent; Akpınar, HalukAims: To evaluate the effect of pre-RIRS ESWL on the efficiency and safety of RIRS in the treatment of proximal ureter stones. Methods: The patients in the study population were divided into two groups. Group-1 was composed of patients who had undergone ESWL for proximal ureter stones before RIRS and Group-2 was composed of patients who directly underwent RIRS without any prior ESWL. The clinical and demographic properties of the patients were analysed in the RIRSearch database. The operative outcomes, peroperative complications, postoperative complications, hospitalisation time and stone-free rates were compared between the groups. Results: There were 56 patients in Group 1 and 95 patients in Group 2. The demographic and clinical properties were similar between the groups. The stone-free rates, peroperative complications and postoperative complications were also similar between the groups; however, the fluoroscopy time was significantly higher in Group 1 (P =.043). The cut-off duration of 10 weeks between ESWL and RIRS had reasonable/favourable discriminating ability, with a 51% sensitivity and 88% specificity rate for stone-free status. Conclusion: Performing ESWL on the proximal ureter stones before RIRS did not change the efficacy and safety of RIRS. The time between the patient's last ESWL session and RIRS had a predictive value for stone-free status, but did not have any effect on complications. © 2021 John Wiley & Sons LtdÖğe Does the 5-Item Modified Frailty Index Predict Adverse Outcomes after Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery? A Case-Control Study by the RIRSearch Group(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc, 2025) Başataç, Cem; Şimşekoğlu, Muhammed Fatih; Teke, Kerem; Tuna, Mustafa Bilal; Çınar, Önder; Akgül, Hacı Murat; Özman, Oktay; Sıddıkoğlu, Duygu; Sancak, Eyüp BurakObjectives: We aim to assess whether severely frail patients have an increased risk of complications and worse surgical outcomes after retrograde intrarenal surgery. Methods: The data of 340 consecutive patients undergoing retrograde intrarenal surgery to treat upper tract urinary stones were analyzed retrospectively. The 5-item modified frailty index (mFI-5) was used to assess the frailty status. Using a cutoff value of score 2 in the mFI-5 score, patients were divided into two groups: patients with an mFI-5 score <2 were assigned to a non-frail (Group 1) group, and patients with an mFI-5 score ≥2 were assigned to a frail (Group 2) group. The patients’ demographics, stone characteristics, operative outcomes, and complication rates were compared between the groups. The primary objective was to examine whether the surgical outcomes were much better in non-frail patients. Results: After matching confounding factors, Group 1 comprised 255 patients, and Group 2 comprised 85 patients. The baseline characteristics were similar between the groups. There were no statistically significant differences in terms of the median operation time and length of hospital stay among groups. There were no significant differences between groups for intraoperative complication rates (7.6% and 9.4%, respectively; P = .47) and postoperative complication rates (13.8% and 11.8%, respectively; P = .71), and stone-free rates (70.9% versus 72.9%, respectively; P = .73). Conclusions: Retrograde intrarenal surgery is an efficient and feasible treatment option for upper urinary tract stones in severely frail patients.Öğe Effect of preoperative urine culture timing on postoperative outcomes of retrograde intrarenal surgery: Preliminary results of the RIRSearch study(Elsevier, 2025) Yazıcı, C. M.; Şahin, M. F.; Teke, K.; Şimşeko, M. F.; Tuna, M. B.; Basataç, C.; Çınar, O.; Sıddıkoğlu, Duygu; Sancak, Eyüp Burak[No abstract available]Öğe Enurezisli erişkin hastalarda biofeedback tedavisinin etkinliği(2016) Sancak, Eyüp Burak; Akbaş, Alpaslan; Alan, Cabir; Ersay, Ahmet ReşitAmaç: Çalışmanın amacı; primer monosemptomatik enurezisli (MsE) erişkinlerde, biofeedback tedavisinin etkinliğini araştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Prospektif dizaynlı bu çalışmada, primer MsE'li erişkin hastalar çalışmaya dahil edildi. Nörojen mesaneli, gündüz işeme problemi olan, anatomik anomalisi olan ve enurezisle ilişkili başka hastalığı olan hastalar çalışmaya alınmadı. Kriterlere uyan 13 hastanın demografik verileri kaydedildi. Biofeedback öncesinde ve tedavinin bitiminden sonra 3. ayda, hastaların enurezis sıklıkları, üroflovmetri değerleri, rezidüel idrar miktarları (PVR) ve total mesane hacmi (TMH) (işeme hacmi + PVR) değerlendirildi. Biofeedback tedavinin başarısı, ayda bir kez veya daha az gece ıslatması olarak tanımlandı. Bulgular: Altı erkek ve yedi kadını içeren toplam 13 hastanın yaş ortalaması 29.2 ± 8.2 idi. Biofeedback tedavisi öncesinde aylık enurezis sıklığı 23.4 ± 5.9 iken, tedavi sonrasında 5.2 ± 8.9 olarak hesaplandı (p=0.002). Biofeedback tedavisi öncesi ve sonrasında; PVR, maksimum idrar akım hızı (Qm) ve ortalama akım hızı (Qa) açısından fark saptanmadı. Biofeedback tedavisi sonrası, TMH'nin 277.8 ml'den 329.9 ml'ye yükseldiği belirlendi (p=0.001). Sonuç: Primer MsE olan erişkin hastalarda biofeedback tedavisi, güvenli basit ve kolay uygulanabilen bir tedavi seçeneğidir. Mesane kapasitesini artırdığı saptanan bu tedavi, bu özel hasta grubu için önerilebilir.Öğe Factors affecting Urethral Catheter Placement Following Flexible Ureterorenoscopy: RIRSearch Study Group(Acıbadem Üniversitesi, 2024) Çakır, Hakan; Çınar, Önder; Akgül, Murat; Özman, Oktay; Başataç, Cem; Şimşekoğlu, Muhammed Fatih; Teke, Kerem; Sancak, Eyüp BurakBackground/Purpose: To investigate the factors affecting UC placement following flexible ureterorenoscopy (fURS) and the effect of urethral catheter (UC) placement on patient quality of life. Methods: The present study was performed in prospective manner from 1st January 2015 to 30th December 2023, and patients with renal stones smaller than two centimeters who underwent fURS were analyzed for study inclusion. Patients’ demographic characteristics, operative parameters, success of procedure, complications, and VAS score were recorded. Patients were categorized into two groups according to UC placement or not. These groups were compared according to preoperative parameters, intraoperative data, complications, success and VAS at postoperative 6th hour. Results: In total, 324 patients were enrolled into the study. UC was inserted in 170 patients following fURS and was not inserted to 154 patients. In the patient group with UC placement, ratio of male patients (p= 0.002), ratio of anticoagulant use (p= 0.002), preoperative creatinine level (p=0.001), stone size (p= 0.001), stone burden (p= 0.001), and ratio of multiple stones (p= 0.001) were significantly higher. Operation time was significantly longer (p= 0.003) and intraoperative complications (p= 0.045) were significantly higher in patients with UC insertion. Need for additional analgesia and VAS score was significantly lower in patients without UC placement (p= 0.004 vs. p= 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that male gender, higher preoperative creatinine level, higher stone size and stone burden, and longer operation time were predictive factors for UC placement following fURS (p= 0.008, p= 0.001, p= 0.001, p= 0.010, and p= 0.001, respectively). Conclusion: The present study demonstrated that UC placement following fURS was associated with increased analgesia requirements and more pain. Moreover, our study demonstrated that male gender, higher preoperative creatinine level, higher stone size and stone volume, and longer operation time resulted in UC insertion after fURS.Öğe Feeling Underqualified and out of My League: Motivational and Affective Paths to Adaptive and Maladaptive Behaviors(Sage Publications Inc, 2025) Köseoğlu, Gamze; Keem, Sejin; Karaeminoğulları, Ayşegül; Erdoğan, Berrin; Bauer, Talya N.; Sancak, Eyüp BurakThis study explored the motivational and affective implications of perceived underqualification, specifically examining how it leads to increased levels of envy and help-seeking behaviors. We predicted that envy and help seeking behaviors would in turn indirectly relate to interpersonal deviance and task performance. We further hypothesized that two psychological resources, hope and self-efficacy, would moderate the relationships between perceived underqualification, envy, and help seeking. We tested our model with a sample of 149 medical school students who were undergoing a clinical rotation as well as their rotation coordinators at a university hospital located in northwestern Turkey. Data collection spanned four waves, from the first day of their rotation to the end of that one-month rotation. Results supported positive indirect effects between perceived underqualification and task performance via help seeking, and between perceived underqualification and interpersonal deviance via envy. Further, hope moderated the relationship between perceived underqualification and task performance via help seeking, and self-efficacy moderated the relationship between perceived underqualification and envy.Öğe The Impact of Stone Density on Operative Complications of Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery: A Multicenter Study with Propensity Score Matching Analysis(Mary Ann Liebert Inc., 2022) Başatac, Cem; Özman, Oktay; Akgül, Hacı Murat; Özyaman, Onur; Çınar, Önder; Can, Günay; Sancak, Eyüp BurakBackground: The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of stone density on operative complication rates in retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS). Materials and Methods: A total of 473 consecutive patients undergoing RIRS for the treatment of upper tract urinary stones were included. To adjust for baseline confounders, one-to-one propensity score matching was performed. After matching, the patients were divided into two groups according to stone density (low density [LD] group, ≤970 Hounsfield unit [HU]; high density [HD] group, >970 HU). The patients' demographics, stone-related features, stone-free rates, and intraoperative and postoperative complication rates were compared between the groups. The primary objective was to evaluate whether the intraoperative and postoperative complication rates were higher in patients whose stone density was greater than 970 HU. Results: After propensity score matching, 170 of 210 LD and 170 of 263 HD patients undergoing RIRS were included. The baseline characteristics did not differ significantly between the groups. There were no significant differences between LD and HD patients with respect to intraoperative (5.9% and 8.8%, respectively; P = .29), postoperative (10.6% and 15.3%, respectively; P = .14), and overall complication rates (15.2% and 21.1%, respectively; P = .16). Stone-free status was achieved in 143 patients (84.1%) in the LD group and 148 patients (87%) in the HD group; the difference was not statistically significant (P = .27). Conclusion: Our results show that RIRS is a safe and effective minimally invasive procedure for the treatment of upper urinary tract stones, even in HD stones.Öğe Karyotipik bozukluk gösteren intratestiküler leyomiyom(2015) Gülpınar, Murat Tolga; Akbaş, Alpaslan; Sancak, Eyüp Burak; Aydın, Hatip; Reşorlu, Mustafa; Özkanlı, Sıdıka Şeymaİntratestiküler leyomiyom benign karakterli ve nadir görülen bir skrotal kitle sebebidir. Preoperatif klinik bulgular ile malign bir testiküler kitleden ayrımı mümkün olmamaktadır. Bu durum benign karakterdeki bir tümör nedeniyle testis kaybına yol açmaktadır. Klinik olarak malign-benign ayrımı yapılamayan şüpheli durumlarda peroperatif yapılacak frozen inceleme ile doğru tanı ve tedavi yapılabilir. Erkeklerde düz kas dokusu kaynaklı benign tümörlerde karyotipik anormallik görülmesi son derece ender bildirilen bir durumdur. Leyomiyom patogenezinin altında yatan moleküler mekanizmaların henüz anlaşılamamış olması saptanan karyotipik anomalilerin önemini arttırmaktadır.Öğe Lower Pole Stones Are Associated with Low Stone-Free Rates in Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery: A Myth or Fact? - A Matched Case-Control Study from the RIRSearch Group(Karger, 2025) Şimşekoğlu, Muhammed Fatih; Ozman, Oktay; Çakır, Hakan; Teke, Kerem; Çınar, Önder; Akgül, Murat; Tuna, Mustafa Bilal; Sancak, Eyüp Burak; Sıddıkoğlu, DuyguIntroduction: There are conflicting results in the literature regarding the efficacy of retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) in lower pole stones. This study aimed to evaluate RIRS outcomes in lower pole stones by forming matched case-control groups. Methods: The data of 491 patients who were diagnosed with kidney stones and underwent RIRS were retrospectively included in the study. A total of 209 patients with lower pole stones (Group 1) and 282 patients with pelvic stones (Group 2) were matched at a 1:1 ratio in terms of stone burden, stone density, preoperative double-J stenting status, and a previous history of shock wave lithotripsy, yielding 159 patients in each group. A computed tomography scan was performed to evaluate the stone-free status. The primary outcome was stone-free status 1 month after RIRS. Results: After case-control matching, the median age was 49 years (interquartile range [IQR]: 40-58) in Group 1 and 50 years (IQR: 35-60) in Group 2 (p = 0.388). The median stone burden values of Group 1 and Group 2 were 415.3 mm3 (IQR: 176.1-858.2) and 503.3 mm3 (IQR: 282.5-864), respectively (p = 0.100). After RIRS, stone-free status was achieved by 126 of the 159 (79.2%) in Group 1 and 133 of the 159 (83.6%) patients in Group 2 (p = 0.387). The groups were similar in terms of perioperative complications (4.4% in Group 1 and 3.8% in Group 2, p = 0.777), postoperative complications (13.8% in Group 1 and 10.3% in Group 2, p = 0.393), and median operation time (60 min in both, p = 0.230). A longer median fluoroscopy time was noted in Group 1 compared to Group 2 (26 s and 3 s, respectively, p = 0.013). Conclusions: Stone-free rates and complications were comparable between the patients with lower pole and pelvic stones after RIRS. However, lower pole stones are associated with longer fluoroscopy time. RIRS can be performed effectively for the treatment of lower pole stones.Öğe Multi-aspect analysis of ureteral access sheath usage in retrograde intrarenal surgery: Results of propensity score matching study(Elsevier, 2021) Özman, Oktay; Akgül, Hacı Murat; Basatac, Cem; Çınar, Önder; Sancak, Eyüp Burak; Yazıcı, Cenk Murat; Önal, Bülent; Akpınar, HalukThe aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of ureteral access sheath (UAS) use and calibration change on the success and complications of retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS)Öğe Outcomes of retrograde intrarenal surgery in patients on anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy: a multicenter matched case-control study by the RIRSearch Study Group(Springer, 2025) Şimşekoğlu, Muhammed Fatih; Ozman, Oktay; Şahin, Mehmet Fatih; Çakır, Hakan; Teke, Kerem; Çınar, Önder; Akgül, Murat; Sancak, Eyüp Burak; Sıddıkoğlu, DuyguPurpose This study aimed to assess the outcomes of various perioperative management strategies employed during retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) in patients receiving anticoagulant (AC) or antiplatelet (AP) therapy. Methods In this multicenter retrospective matched case–control study, we included patients with nephrolithiasis who received AC or AP therapy and underwent RIRS. The control group consisted of patients not receiving AC/AP therapy. Group 1 included patients who discontinued AC/AP treatment prior to RIRS, whereas Group 2 comprised patients who also discontinued AC/AP therapy but received bridging anticoagulation. The primary endpoints were surgical success and RIRS-related complications. These outcomes were assessed using non-contrast abdominopelvic computed tomography (CT) scans obtained during the first postoperative month. Results In the final analysis, Group 1 and Group 2 each comprised 50 patients, while the control group consisted of 56 patients. The mean age was 59.36 ± 8.86 years in Group 1, 59.96 ± 9.70 years in Group 2, and 56.59 ± 11.56 years in the control group (p = 0.452). Surgical success was significantly lower in Group 2 (p = 0.026), and the need for auxiliary procedures was significantly higher in this group (p = 0.009). Although perioperative complications tended to be higher in Group 2 (p = 0.053), no statistically significant differences were observed in postoperative or overall complication rates. Conclusions Patients undergoing RIRS with bridging anticoagulation demonstrated lower surgical success rates and a higher need for auxiliary procedures. These findings underscore the importance of close monitoring and individualized perioperative management in this high-risk patient population.
